Quiet Dishwashers at Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterHow much will a good quiet dishwasher cost?Well, you knew this was coming. It depends! There are a lot of variables, depending on what is important to you. The average retail price for a dishwasher in the U.S. is around $500. However, to get the dishwashers with the best cleaning features, longest warranties, and the quietest ratings, you'll need to pay a premium. For example, the very quietest dishwashers available are 40 db or even less, and you can expect to pay near $1,000 and even more for a dishwasher in this category.All dishwashers are not created equal. It is true that better dishwashers cost more money, but there are also diminishing returns for most of us. At some point, the difference of the next $100 spent on added dependability, quietness, and cleaner dishes is not discernible. So, what we've done here is to leave off the entry level products that are advertised by the big box stores. Here are a few great dishwasher brands that have received terrific ratings from several sources and authorities. They'll not only get your dishes clean, they're built to last, and they're the quietest dishwashers in the industry.BOSCHBosch has made a lot of noise over the years, by touting how little noise their dishwasher makes. It's probably fair to say that they invented quiet as an important feature in dishwashers. They're part of BSH, and one of the largest appliance manufacturers in the world. Though they manufacture

What good is a blog?There are many valid reasons for a business to maintain a blog. Here at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) the blogs are focused on some key principles.Educating customers and prospective customersSome UAKC blogs are primarily educational. For example, we recently explained the difference between a slide-in range and a freestanding range. If you read this blog you probably won't buy a freestanding range if you need controls in the front and a range that overlaps the adjacent countertops.Freestanding vs Slide-in RangePromoting new productsWe've seen a host of new products launched recently. Some are updated models, and others are unique and might even be game-changers. These days there are many new built-in coffee makers, and they are so-o-o much fun!

All major German brands are available at UAKC Miele - Bosch - Thermador - Gaggenau - Liebherr Known for durability and efficiency, German appliance brands have made their name in the U.S. market in recent years. These sleek and streamlined German engineered refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, ovens, and cooktops have distinguished themselves as leaders in the premium and luxury categories. Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau (all part of the BSH corporate umbrella), Miele appliances, and now Liebherr refrigeration account for nearly all of the German brands sold in the U.S. The BSH brands have a considerable U.S. manufacturing footprint, while Miele and Leibherr build primarily in Germany. Miele boasts that as a family operation, they are not interested so much in quarterly earnings, but in long term viability. While competitors race to outsource products and cut costs, Miele builds 90% of their products in Germany and manufactures over 95% of their parts. Their sensibility is to build their products to last 20 years or more. Part of the German brand success in the U.S. is the low energy use and water savings in their dishwashers. The Bosch dishwasher has also been a consistent leader in building the quietest dishwasher available. Let's take a look at few of these highly regarded products: Bosch Dishwasher 24" Bar Handle DishwasherSHX9PT75UCBenchmark™ Series- Stainless steel The quietest dishwasher in North America. 38 dBA: Quietest dishwasher brand. A flexible 3rd rack with folding tines adds 30% more loading capacity. A clean white light illuminates the interior

Dishwashers to get your dishes clean quicklyAvailable now at Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterOne of the most common issues that comes up on dishwasher reviews is the amount of time that it takes for a dishwasher to complete a full cycle. Customers report their frustration with dishwasher cycle times that can exceed three hours.Over the last decade dishwashers have radically reduced the amount of energy that they use, the amount of water that they consume, and at the same time dishwasher noise levels have dropped dramatically. However, these fantastic improvements have not occurred without tradeoffs. For example, instead of washing dishes in both racks simultaneously, several dishwasher brands now have spray arms that alternate washing dishes on the top rack and then switching to the bottom rack. With only half the dishes getting washed at any given time the sound levels go down, but naturally the wash times go up.So now, to address the consumer complaints of extended wash times, some dishwasher brands have quicker wash cycles for lightly soiled dishes or glasses.Jenn-Air touts a one hour wash for quick cleaning on the new Jenn-Air Trifecta™ dishwashers.Frigidaire's new dishwashers with the OrbitClean® wash system include a 30 minute Quick Wash.Miele trumps both Jenn-Air and Frigidaire with a 19 minute cycle on its model G7859. How can they get dishes clean with such a short wash cycle? Well, this Miele model is a commercial dishwasher that works on 208v. It's really designed for a community center, a day care facility, etc.
